Another work day in Lepanto,Arkansas.

Arriving at Lepanto this morning Sherry caught a crop duster. These guys must have a ball, it looks like a lot of fun. He whips up and down and nearly touches the ground.

I guess we cannot get enough of 'A Painted house' We did go up to it today. They have a list of volunteers who will come and show you through the house if you will call them. There isn't enough traffic here to warrant anyone there all the time. We plan to call someone on one of our afternoons off. LOL. Notice they have a Terrapin Derby. That is a land turtle isn't it? There is a large building where it is held. I think I will ask about that.

We stop by McDonalds and have a jelly biscuit pretty often for breakfast. Sherry ordered one out here and the girl asked what is that?

Funny thing happened while we were there. The only time we read the paper is when we get one free, usually at McDonalds. Sherry is the Sports enthusiast in the family and she was looking at the sports page when a young worker came over and said, "YOu know they cheated to win!" (The game between Florida and ARkansas). Sherry smiled and said, "You didn't notice the Florida tags on our car did you?" Didn't phase the kid, who was probably a college student at Arkansas State just down the road.

I have always worked straight through the day, no breaks and no lunch. I got a little tired the other day and decided we would take a break just after lunch to let the local workers have the lunch time. We went to 'Judy's'. (I got a fish sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion for $3. A big piece of fish too!).

Anyway Sherry was reading the newspaper she picked up off an empty booth. She had it lying open to the obituaries because I had noticed a death posted from Hickory, NC. That is about forty miles from our home town. As Sherry was reading one of the local ladies excused herself, slid the paper away from Sherry. She was on a cell phone, "I need to look at an obituary."

She continued to read the obit to someone on the other end of the phone conversation. While she was reading anouther lady came into the little cafe, and was reading along with the lady on the phone. When the lady disconnected, the new lady took Sherry's paper to her table and commenced to read. Well it was a community paper.

Sherry hasn't said anything yet. She probably will when she read this.

Thanks for coming by the log.

******You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

*****I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!

*****I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'
